Greetings beloved sisters!
Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.Philippians 4:1
I hope you're pressing on today and going forward in the hope of His mercy!
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.Psalm 33:22
God is good! Let us strive to walk worthy of Him and the calling we have.
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Ephesians 4:1
There's so much in His Word about that and being acceptable and pleasing to Him through our actions.
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,Hebrews 6:1
Our life should be a forward progression of growth and obviously we experience things in life which gives us wisdom.
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 3:23-24
His Word is always good and even though there's so many who abuse certain parts or overlook certain parts or focus on certain parts...it's all to be treasured and lived by (NT today).
I read some scriptures on holy here...
Nice cool morning for doing some work ripping out pumpkin vines...
And gathering some more pumpkins. Not many more left to harvest now but they're my favourite kind:-) They're soft to cut and have a lot of flesh and not many seeds and a sweet flavour (There were three varieties). The Lord not only made many different types of vegetables and fruits but different kinds within each one! Awesome. Just peaceful quiet serving works I was doing in His creations. We're blessed with whatever good works we have in front of us to do. 'Good' works which are things the Lord either commands directly or through discernment and applying His principles we by faith deem as good and acceptable to Him.
I've had another day in the Lord! Some days stand out as being very different and some much the same things in them yet every single day is unique! And always a good day to serve the Lord!
I got to send out some emails to women with the good news of Christ...the true Jesus of the Bible. For now I'm sharing more like a testimony from my own life with the gospel in and how I learned about the many false 'jesus' and worldly ways abounding. And an encouragement for them to test their own life. They can feel free to talk about the truth if they want and if not, well they don't have to. Anyway there's often 1001 ways we can do the same things, right sisters, and we have the liberty to do them within the framework of God's commands without judging one another. Honestly we just have to do our best and fully lean on Christ for our salvation. He can grow us over time if we have willing hearts and just keep stepping, right sisters! We don't want to be too afraid to do things that we don't just keep walking! If that makes sense. We fear God yes but He is also merciful and gracious and kind and caring and loving to His daughters who are striving on. He's not out to get us and watching us with suspicion (neither should we be to others). He wants no one on earth to perish let alone His children. He loves us so much.
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.Ephesians 3:19
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.1 John 3:1,16
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.Hebrews 12:6
And I was working on a 'business card' (if you want to call it that) for my sewing shop. That will go along with the 'good news cards' I send with my sewing orders. (Just waiting for a sale on them before I order them.)
Front and back (so far at least)...
It's good to wait isn't it sisters...for many things. Patience is an attribute we are to have in the Spirit. God's timing is always best cuz we can want things right away. So many areas to have patience in.
Everything...and I mean everything...we do in the Lord is just our reasonable service and duty isn't it sisters. It's all to His glory! Keep pressing on though sisters...for He is worthy!
Peaceful moon setting...
And we got to see a little of the aurora tonight. That's an awesome creation too! Mostly gets picked up with better cameras but glory to God for all the beauty in His creation!
Not my picture of course (but one from the public domain) but isn't it so beautiful?!
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Psalm 19:1-4
Interesting how Paul refers to that scripture above in relation to the gospel...
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.Romans 10:17-18
The creation's 'voice' indeed has gone into all the earth and everyone in every language can hear it! Reminds me of Romans 1 about all being without excuse.
Amazing to think our great God always...was. He is. And always will be. This earth and creation is temporary.
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
Psalm 102:25-27
Let us live for that which is eternal!
Godly love and a sister hug to all my sisters who love the Lord and each other. I hope you keep pressing on...until the very end. I plan to do that too and that all means each day is important as they all add on top of each other. We don't even know if we will get tomorrow. Let's be faithful in each day so that adds up to a lifetime of faithfulness! God always is faithful. Strive on sister soldiers!
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.2 Thessalonians 3:3
Peace to you,
Sister Chayil
